Toward Chromoselective Transformations in Biological Systems: Perspectives and Challenges
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 31, 27 July 2026.Controlling biological systems with small‐molecule chromophores has evolved into a powerful strategy and is applied from chemical biology to medicine. However, the complexity of in vivo systems cannot be matched by a single wavelength of light. Developing methods to combine and individually control multiple chromophores is crucial.

Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Modelling of a Magnetic Polymersome
Nanomaterials, 2018 A coarse-grained molecular dynamics framework is proposed to investigate the equilibrium structure and quasi-static deformational response of a magnetic polymersome, a hollow object whose magnetoactive part is its shell (membrane).

Polymerization-Induced Polymersome Fusion [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019 The dynamic interactions of membranes, particularly their fusion and fission, are critical for the transmission of chemical information between cells. Fusion is primarily driven by membrane tension built up through membrane deformation. For artificial polymersomes, fusion is commonly induced via the external application of a force field. Herein, fusion-

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.This work introduces state‐convergent polymerization (SCP), a polymerization framework in which chemically diverse reaction pathways converge toward a reproducible functional polymeric state rather than a defined molecular structure. Using melanin and polydopamine as exemplars, SCP explains how robust polymer functions emerge under chemical and ...

Polymersomes with micellar patches
Journal of Colloid and Interface ScienceHollow block copolymer particles called polymer vesicles (polymersomes) serve as versatile containers for compartmentalization in synthetic biology and drug delivery. Recently, there has been growing interest in using polymersomes as colloidal building blocks for creating higher-order clustered structures.
